Celebrate Neighbor Appreciation Day 2/11

Hey, neighbors! Have I told you lately that I appreciate you? Well, I do! Thank you for being my neighbor and giving me lots tips to write about here on Wallyhood!

You, too, can appreciate your neighbors during the 18th annual Neighbor Appreciation Day held this year on February 11. It’s a day in Seattle when we interact with the fine folks, groups, and businesses who make this neighborhood a great place to live. The city has lots of planned activities, which you can find here. There are several ways to participate:

Send out Neighbor Appreciation Day greeting e-cards to your neighbors. The selection of e-cardsfeature artwork from past winners of the Neighbor Appreciation Day Student Art Contest.

Share a story or two about your favorite neighbors. Community members can visit the Neighbor Appreciation Day website to post stories about great neighbors or their neighborhood.

Attend one of the many community activities listed on the online calendar. Seattle Fire stations, Seattle Parks and Recreation community centers and pools, and other organizations have special Neighbor Appreciation Day events and work parties planned.

Our neighborhood doesn’t yet have activities planned, but we’ll keep you posted once we hear of any organized events in Wallingford.

Wallyhood is dedicated to fostering community and communication in the Wallingford neighborhood. A group of volunteer editors rotates the responsibility of managing the site, and we welcome stories from all our neighbors.

This week’s editor is Ben Robinson. You can contact the editor-of-the-week at [email protected].
